Well bb codes are standard markup language for forums, the tags are pretty similiar to html. I'm sure you can adjust to it.But no I (personally) will not going to allow html because html could be used to damage/break the forum's layout and we may get XSS attacks like code injections, ya. And the number of bots we get in these forums, I think it's a security risk. Sorry but unless Kaj, the ultimate admin agrees to html, I will stick to BBcodes.

agreed huge security risk with html, one of the forums i used to be on was attacked by some guys who knew how to inject code, they ruined it and the creator had to create a new site completely and email 1000 people the new address...lost loads of people and everyone started from scratch, it was weird...

YEah... I know... a similar scenerio happened to me. I was an active member of a FFVII forum site, and it also got hacked into, and many people, including myself, never bothered starting over. We had all been so active that we didn't want to start all over... we all worked as a team to make the site what it was... and once it was gone... No one cared anymore.

I had an xml injection on my myspace, but i just found out yesterday.I got a wierd thing that triggered norton antivirus' autoprotect, and a message from tom, saying something about him being the real tom, and not a pisher.It sucked, but i don't use it but once a month anyways, so wtf-ever...
